Question

Gilgamesh answered, "Dear friend, dear brother,

I cannot kill Humbaba alone.

Please stay here with me. Stand at my side.

'Two boats lashed together will never sink.

A three-ply rope is not easily broken.'

If we help each other and fight side by side,

what harm can come to us? Let us go on

and attack the monster. We have come so far.

Whatever you are feeling, let us go on."

–Gilgamesh: A New English Version,
Stephen Mitchell
